Ruby lives with her father in an old farmhouse at the end of a dirt road. He teaches her to hunt, to forage for mushrooms, to gut a fish. She learns to tiptoe around his temper – and never to ask about her absent mother.
Ruby has no idea that, hundreds of miles away, a woman she barely remembers is desperate to answer those same questions.
